I just bought this car and now it is starting to act up on me.. i can be driving and go to get on it or even just give me more gas and just cuts out and starts spuddering but goes away when i push in the clutch and rev it up..and today i was messing around trying to learn how to launch a FWD and i reved to 3,000 RPM and slowly started slipping the clutch and then it just cut out on me and died on its face (but didn't shut off) and started spuddering again and i could barely even go..also the guy i bought the car from pulled the damn CEL light and i just happen to scan it and it showed that it had a evap purge soleniod code..and i know on a honda that just means that u need to release the gas cap and then tighten it back up to fix it..but what about a dsm? any help would help..thanks alot..and please no haters
 
since you dont live in cali, i would pull all the emissoins and evaps and plug the holes but leave the egr lines in and do not block the egr valve. you need the egr valve
 
FIXED!! it was the injectors, i installed the rc 550's and it cleared the car right up..its for sale by the way..$7,000
